Night Scene with Reactive Inks

Hi everyone! This is Ilina! Today I have a fun card for you using the new Lake Time Fun stamp set and dies, along with the Snowy Drifts Fancy Dies.

To make the card, start by stamping the images from the set onto Dove White cardstock using Intense Black Ink, die cut and set a side. Cut off the trees from the Snowy Drifts Fancy Dies from Pitch Black cardstock, trim the bottom and set aside.

Cut a piece of Dove White cardstock, mask it across the middle and on the top part blend in Berry Smoothie, Grape Slush and Thistle Reactive Inks. Mask the already ink-blended part and blend in some Blue Hawaii, Splash and Pool Party Reactive Inks. Mask the bottom, and splash some water and some Sea Salt Reactive Ink to create a starry night effect. Adhere the trees across the middle. Set aside.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Pitch Black cardstock and die cut a circle using the Circles Infinity Dies. Stamp the sentiment with Clear Embossing & Watermark ink and emboss using White Embossing Powder. Adhere the ink-blended panel on the back. Adhere the elements you die cut and color the white edges with matching alcohol marker colors, so the image's white frame doesn't stand out so much. Adhere the panel onto a top folding Dove White card and you are finished!

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have amazingly creative day!
